UWinnipeg Master in Management writing requirements
The University of Winnipeg's Master in Management application asks for a statement of intent and a writing sample. The application also contains two short open-ended questions of 500 words or less. Applicants upload an existing piece of their own writing, such as a report, article, opinion piece, or short essay. This is a graduate program for applicants with relevant leadership or management experience, not the undergraduate business application.
Writing format
Statement of intent, two short application answers, and a separate writing sample
What to prepare
- 1Use the statement of intent to connect your management experience to the Technology, Innovation and Operations or Data Analytics stream you selected.
- 2Answer the two live application questions directly and follow the portal's 500-word guidance for the responses; do not guess their wording before opening the portal.
- 3Choose a writing sample you actually wrote that shows a clear argument or analysis; label its context without rewriting it as a new admission essay unless the portal asks you to.
How to approach the writing
- Keep the statement, short answers, and uploaded sample distinct. The résumé and references provide separate evidence of the program's required professional experience.
- The program's Data Analytics stream expects quantitative preparation, while the Technology, Innovation and Operations stream has a different focus. Use the selected stream's real requirements when explaining fit.
Before you submit
Winnipeg says applications normally run November 1 to February 1 for an August start and late applications are generally limited to people already legally residing in Canada. Confirm the next cycle's portal window, exact questions, statement instructions, and writing-sample upload rules before applying.
